islands were worlds unto 

themselves, that to come to an 

island was to come to another 

world.”

Let every man and woman count himself immortal.  Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection.  Let him say not merely, "Christ is risen," but "I shall rise."

TRANQUILITY...

Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding.
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the
physician with you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink
his remedy in silence and tranquility.
- Khalil Gibran

“Perfection is a paradigm meant to keep us striving and learning and growing. Like a wondrous sunset, perfection may be beyond our reach, but it is within our view and well worth seeking after.”

"City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style

In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells 

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, 

Hear them ring, 
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights, even stoplights

Blinkin' bright red and green

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big day
And above all this bustle you hear
Silver bells…"
Jay Livingston and Ray Evans
